This elf world is kind of weird

Chapter 176 Waveguide and Mind (6400)

In the courtyard with lush green grass and lush trees, the children, who had no excitement to see, started playing again.

It was already late autumn, but this orphanage was still full of vitality.

It seems that there should be something else going on underground.

The water system gymnasium that has stood for decades has a profound heritage that many people do not know. Even if there are few challengers, it can always play some magical functions.

Several children, both old and naughty, gathered around the dream demon and watched it throw small purple light balls into the air, which exploded into countless patterns and emitted a huge sound. cheers.

The one who yelled the most enthusiastically and was vaguely the king of children. At first glance, I thought he was a dirty boy. But after a closer look, I found that he was a tomboy, with big round eyes, and he was indescribably clever.

The younger children followed the wind fairy's buttocks and played chasing and fleeing. Although they were tossed and howled by the wind fairy's spores, they all enjoyed it.

Later, the impatient Big Mouth Boy also roped in Emperor Nabo to join him, and became the main force chasing the other side. With righteous sanctions, he turned the howling side into a wind fairy who was just complacent.

A few quiet children sat in a circle around the crustacean with their eyes closed, looking carefully at this powerful Pokémon, which is extremely rare in Carlos. Occasionally, the brave ones would run forward and gently stroke the smooth and hard Pokémon. shell.

The crustacean, who was thinking hard about the dance of the dragon and the essence of evolution, didn't care much about these "onlookers" and was doing his own thing, but he couldn't help but smile when he heard the child next to him sigh "so handsome" meaning.

Norma, who had to recuperate due to a calf injury, was not lonely either. Not only were her friends who had good fun together chatting together, Taiyang Ibrahimovic, who didn't like the lively environment outside, also found a place to lie down quietly. , a faint superpower light flickered in the room, attracting gasps of surprise.

This remote courtyard, which is rarely visited by the elderly and disciples, and where only children laugh on weekdays, has some new excitement today.

"It can be seen that your Pokémon have been cultivated very well. Not only are their talents and strengths, but also their temperaments are excellent. Although there are not many people who are willing to play with these children, there are indeed not many. My small courtyard also I haven't had any guests for a long time, sorry for the poor hospitality."

Next to the stone table, smelling the light aroma of tea gradually wafting from the cup, Nino looked at the long-lost visitor to the orphanage and smiled.

"I dare not say that. The tea you have here tastes very good and is a rare brand. I am very lucky."

Philio took a sip of the clear yellow-green tea soup, and the fragrance lingered on his lips and teeth.

"When I was studying in Salu, I liked to go back to school during the holidays, or read books by myself, or spend time with the dream demons, and get along with the younger students. Over time, I fell in love with this kind of thing. Living conditions. I haven’t asked you yet, why are there so many orphans here?”

"It's all happened a few years ago. At your age, you should know a little bit about what happened to the Flame team." The circling mist curled up, faintly covering the old man's kind face, but it couldn't stop it. His bright eyes said, "Although the thing called the ultimate weapon was stopped back then, it was only in those big cities. Even if a small place like ours is not the main direction, there have been many casualties. These children are The orphans of the victims have no family members, so they live here."

Nodding in understanding, Philio crossed his fingers, resting his elbows on the table, and asked, "In other words, did you change the gymnasium into an orphanage after that incident? Great decision."

"Heh, it's not as bizarre as you think. It's nothing more than the willfulness of an old man who is about to retire. Be careful not to choke if you play in the water!"

Waving his hands indifferently, Nino turned his attention to the swimming pool in the center of the courtyard, loudly reminding the four or five naughty boys who had changed their playing positions with Emperor Nabo.

"Originally, I was going to close the gymnasium and retire. After this incident, I thought about working for a few more years. After all, I will be almost 80 years old. This person, it's not good to be old."

"I can't say that, you take good care of these children, which is very admirable." Shaking his head slightly, with respect for the old man in front of him, Philio leaned forward, "It can be seen that although you have lost your blood relatives , but they also found their families and lives again."

In this case, it is not considered a compliment to the old man, but a faithful description of the current situation.

Although the children climbing up and down and playing around in the yard are dressed plainly, they don't look downcast. They are very clean and tidy, and they don't see any anxiety and hesitation that often exist in orphans. Instead, they are full of enthusiasm and enthusiasm for life. expect.

Being able to help children who have lost their loved ones come out of their inner haze in just a few years is obviously not as simple as an old man saying lightly, but there must be a lot of hard work behind it.

Perhaps it is the old man's dedication that makes children like Norma think about doing something and bring a little piece of fate and story that belongs to them.

Nothing in the world is isolated, everything is connected.

But after listening to Filio's admiration, Nino just smiled flatly and said nothing. Instead, he stood up slowly, put his hands behind his back, and walked towards the Water Arrow Turtle and Heart Scale Treasure standing opposite each other in the grass.

They have been silently staring at each other for a long time, the invisible waveguide intertwined in the air, and then slowly disappeared.

Philio was about to follow, but he heard the voice of the old man fluttering:

"I'm going to teach this little guy of yours a lesson, how about you give a lesson to my kids? Anything you think will be of value to their development. They rarely see outsiders .”

-

"dong dong dong"

At first glance, the pointer that has been used for several years tapped lightly on the huge blackboard. In the classroom converted from the training ground of the gymnasium, the chattering children gradually quieted down.

Although they were somewhat reluctant to turn their rest and play time into classes, this was everyone’s favorite Grandpa Nino’s request after all. The sensible little guys still sat down obediently, filling the spacious classroom.

"Cough cough."

Filio, who was acting as a temporary teacher for the first time, was still a little uncomfortable. He cleared his throat and his clear eyes circled the classroom, as if he was looking at the bright stars.

Behind every pair of eyes is a crystal clear innocent heart.

"Hi everyone, I'm Philio, a traveler. Nice to meet you. Dean Nino gave me a difficult exam question and asked me to give you a small lesson, but he didn't say anything What, I just want to talk about something useful to you, after thinking about it, I decided to listen to everyone's ideas. What do you want to hear?"

After thinking for a moment, Filio stood quietly on the podium, holding the table with both hands, looking encouragingly at the group of little carrots at different heights, and Norma, who was "disabled but strong" hidden at the back.

"Brother Philio, what do you know? We want to learn a lot of things, as long as we can help the dean!"

With the help of her friends and the support of Sun Eevee's superpower, Norma seemed to have grown up a few years earlier and became "taller", she asked with full vigor.

"Yes! Yes!"

"What can you say?"

"..."

Norma's question opened up the children's chatterbox, and for a while, the classroom was full of joy.

"What do I know? That's a good question." After smiling at the dream monster, Philio pretended to hesitate and thought for a moment, then turned around and picked up the chalk, and wrote a few lines of words in a "swish". The children spoke calmly with doubtful eyes, "I know all these things, and I can tell you all about them. Whether it's battle command, daily Pokémon cultivation, identification of animals and plants when going out, or simple preparation of medicines, As long as you want to learn, I can teach you. But my suggestion is that you learn some simple and practical skills, so that you can help your favorite Grandpa Nino better and earlier, right?"

"I want to learn how to make elf food! Grandpa Dean is old, and he is very tired every time he cooks for the Slut Kings!"

"I want to learn the identification of medicinal materials. These things are very expensive now. If you earn more money, you can buy gifts for grandpa!"

"I want to learn battle command! Grandpa looked very handsome a few days ago, and I want to protect everyone like him!"

From what you said to me, the childishness and vigor of the child were fully revealed, and the full expectation turned into longing gazes to Filio.

Fortunately, they really believed what Philio said. Perhaps this is also the nature of children. They are simple and direct, but they can sense people's hearts on a certain level.

After awakening [Simulation], the spiritual world that had turned into a pool of stagnant water was once again slightly turbulent, and Philio's eyes moved slightly, and he felt a little impulsive.

"March!"

Before he could speak, the almighty little dream demon dived into the shadow space. After a while, a large pile of slightly mottled notebooks were freed from being "pressed at the bottom of the box" and neatly stacked on the desk. .

With its head held high, the Dream Demon's face was filled with pride. Although it didn't understand the knowledge that Philio had mastered, it was much more confident than Philio himself.

"Well, you did a good job, little dream monster. These are my notes when I was studying at school, a few of them are in class, and most of them are my experience when I practice cultivating home and training dream monsters. Today's After class, I will make a copy for everyone, and you are welcome to read it at any time. As for today's class, I have a new idea."

After touching the dream monster's little head, after hearing the good news that caused a small crowd to cheer, Filio spoke in a slightly raised tone and deliberately paused for a moment.

Norma raised her hand high and took the lead in asking without waiting for her name to be called: "Brother Philio, what's your new idea?"

"Swish"

"Swish"

The eraser swept across the blackboard, erasing rows of words.

The slender chalk left new and elegant handwriting, and whispers came from behind.

【Basic knowledge of outdoor travel】

"You may be thinking that traveling is so far away from us and cannot bring benefits in the short term. Why are we talking about this?" He turned his head with a smile and looked at the students in the front row who couldn't hide their disappointment. Filio spoke loudly, "Actually, it's not entirely correct to say this. You are all still very young now, the oldest is probably eleven or twelve years old. You will enter the Pokémon School or even the Pokémon University in the future. , receive a systematic education, and make a career of your own.”

"But on the way here, I saw a Norma who accidentally slipped down the hillside and threw herself black and blue. I also know that most of you, like him, have more or less run The experience of leaving the courtyard, running out of the town, and looking for valuable fruits and medicinal materials in the wilderness."

"Otherwise, you wouldn't have asked those questions, would you?"

Norma's excited little face instantly turned red, obviously feeling a little embarrassed after being told.

There are a few students like him, all of them are lively types who don't look so honest and are full of their own little thoughts.

"Whether it's fighting, identifying medicinal materials, or making elf food, you must be thinking about how to get a Pokémon partner as soon as possible, and then get out of this small world and make a difference in the wider world. reward."

"In the past few months, I have witnessed the stone forest on Route 10, penetrated into dangerous caves, and climbed the highest peak of Kalos. I have fought ferocious poachers and experienced wild Pokémon wars , and fought the Flames who have hurt you and your families. From a travel perspective, I can tell you many interesting stories."

"However, all of this is still a little early for you. Why didn't Dean Nino teach you this in-depth knowledge? This is the reason. The food must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step. , the first step out of this gym and orphanage is to understand where you are going and where you can go. This is what I want to tell you."

In the quiet classroom, only Filio's narration was left.

The experience of losing a loved one made these young children more mature than their peers.

A huge map of Kalos hangs high, and even the small town of Gakuru is marked.

Starting from the small town that carries the whole life of the children, and from the Pokémon seen along the way, each small story connects practical knowledge and attracts everyone's attention.

Fruits and herbs were taken out from the dream demon's shadow space one by one and placed neatly on the table.

Philio's teaching responded to the children's expectations and also brought them new expectations.

Under the shining eyes, time passed by minute by minute, and the chalk words on the blackboard were written and erased, erased and written again.

-

In the corner of the window that was unobserved, Nino, who was supposed to be carrying the special training waveguide of the Heart Scale Treasure, was secretly listening to Filio's lecture while holding it.

"Jera."

Not knowing why, Xinlinbao unconsciously kicked and hit the wall, and it didn't know why this seemingly strong old man would do such a thing instead of helping him train.

"Camey."

The Water Arrow Turtle, who was old enough to be the ancestor of Xinlin Bao, smiled honestly, and his pure waveguide turned into a big hand, gently stroking Xinlin Bao's head.

"You're surprised. It's obviously special training, but why are you listening to your trainer's lectures, right?"

"Jera!"

"Actually, this is also special training."

"Gera?"

"Waveguides are the energy of our hearts, but there are very few people and Pokémon who can sense and control them. You and Blastoise are both outstanding people favored by fate, so we have this Ability, not only can you master the skills related to waveguides in the future, but you can also truly possess the pure power of waveguides."

"Jera. Jera?"

"Since all life has a waveguide, why are you special? It's very simple, you have a pure heart of a child. Everything has a waveguide, and the waveguide is never special. Your excellent trainer in the room needs consciousness At this point, you are the same. What you need, what you need, is not specific strength or exercise, but something unspeakable, it will only sleep in the bottom of your heart, and you need to find it yourself."

"Jera."

The old man's words were too profound for the immature Xinlinbao, and he was in a fog when he heard it, as if he understood something, but he seemed to be unable to remember anything.

"Birdguide is not only the embodiment of body and mind, but also a process of questioning oneself. I am a dull person. It took decades to understand this with Blastoise." Confusion about Xinlinbao Unsurprisingly, Nino just said to himself, lightly touching the heart-shaped scales on Xinlinbao's head with his fingertips, "It is both simple and not simple, because what it needs is purity and sobriety. Waveguide is the wish in your heart, or your most ardent yearning. For some people, it is responsibility and mission, while for others, it is love and pursuit. There is no same waveguide, because there is no A life is exactly the same.”

"Jera. Jara!"

Nodding thoughtfully, Xinlin Bao straightened his neck and looked hard into the room.

The Emperor Napoleon stood silently.

A slightly sleepy big-mouthed kid.

The obedient Sun Ibrahimovic.

A wind fairy who deserts.

A crustacean hiding in a corner.

There were also Filio and Dream Demon standing on the podium, eyes flashing with a look they had never seen before.

His heart trembled slightly, and Xinlin Bao seemed to realize something.

Deep in the soul, a hazy voice calls to it.

If you listen carefully, it seems to be its own voice.

The blurred eyes gradually became firm.

A faint blue light seeps out from its body surface, turning into a barrier that is difficult to detect with the naked eye.

Seemingly weak, but with extraordinary resilience, he broke the old man's hands away.

"Is that so?" Even Nino, who has seen a lot, was a little surprised. "This is too fast. I still have a lot to say."

"Carme."

The Water Arrow Turtle scratched his head with a complex expression and gently grabbed the old man's sleeve.

The waveguide power that just appeared, even an expert like it who has been cultivating it for decades, feels a little pressure.

"Even you? It seems that he is really an amazing little guy. We can't accept it."

Patting the turtle shell lightly, the old man who had always felt that he was still young and vigorous also felt a little weak, but his mood was surprisingly good.

-

"You can often see a relatively inexpensive medicine in pharmacies called Yuanqi powder. This kind of medicine is actually the same medicinal material as the Yuanqi root sold as a whole root, but in nature, it can grow wild enough to The number of whole vitality roots used for medicine is very small, and most of them are incomplete products, so they can only be ground into powder and sold, and the price is greatly reduced."

"The series of wound medicines that we can often buy now actually have some origins with these medicinal materials."

"However, don't think that those medicinal powders are simply ground, and the vitality roots are dug out and sold directly. If you eat such medicinal materials directly, it will not be of much benefit to humans or Pokémon. .”

"I guess everyone has tasted some medicinal materials in the wild. Do you think they are very bitter? Don't think that Pokémon who like bitter taste can eat these medicinal materials without any pressure."

"Actually, it's not a simple taste, but a special substance in the medicinal material that is difficult to explain by modern science. It is not only unpalatable, but also greatly irritates your mouth and stomach. What the pharmacy does, It is to find ways to curb this side effect through unique treatment methods."

"If you want to learn how to curb side effects, I have some experimental records in my notebook. After you learn the basics of pharmaceutical preparation, you may be able to understand them. As for now, take note of their frequent occurrences. It depends on the topography, do you understand? So, now let’s pack up and get ready for dinner, right?”

The "grunt" sound from the students' stomachs can already be heard faintly, even if they are still not satisfied, they cannot fight against the natural physiological reaction.

Philio also took advantage of the opportunity to bring his narration to an end. He left a few medicinal materials for research on the desk, closed the handout that he used as a temporary notebook, and announced "get out of class end" with a smile.

Amidst the cheers of the students, Nino, who had been quietly waiting outside the gate for a long time, also slowly walked into the room, glanced around in satisfaction, and patted Filio on the shoulder.

"These children have never been so neat even when they listened to my stories. If I hadn't known that you were going on a trip, I would have wanted you to stay and teach them lessons for me."

"It's just some practical knowledge, it's nothing. The children here are smart and sensible, and I like it very much. I have to thank you for having such an opportunity. How is the training of Xinlin Bao? No Will it cause you any trouble?"

After waving his hands politely and making a modest sound, Filio lowered his head slightly and looked at Xinlin Bao, who was still immersed in his inner world.

"Training? No, we didn't train." The wrinkles on Nino's face relaxed as he smiled, "But I think the rewards are much greater than just one training session. Maybe you understand this?"

Philio's pupils shrank slightly: "You mean?"

"Don't be so surprised. My age is not in vain. Although I don't have any so-called special abilities, I know that whether it is superpowers or the power of waveguides, they are all derivatives of the spirit and the body. Drink tea When I was there, I noticed that your heart didn't seem to be at peace, it seems that you have experienced a lot of things, not just the one a few days ago, right?"

Nino picked up the water glass with a smile, no matter what kind of good tea it was, took a gulp, let out a long breath of satisfaction, and didn't answer questions.

"People with restless hearts, no matter how powerful their special abilities are, cannot use them perfectly. Do you feel better now? The child's waveguide is like this, and your superpowers should be the same."

The old man's free and easy demeanor made Philio's politeness a little reserved.

"Thanks to you, I feel better and more relaxed after spending so much time with my lovely children."

Drinking the mellow and sweet green tea in a big sip is a different taste than sipping it lightly.

Filio gently unbuttoned a button of his shirt, and sat carelessly on a desk, watching the children rushing to eat, with a relaxed smile on his face.

"At the same time, I also want to understand a lot of things. It is really the right choice to come to Jakwulu Town to rest. Staying in a simple and pure place, people's hearts will become clean. If the Heart Scale Treasure also If you can gain something, thank you very much.”
